EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Henri II, the French king from 1519-59, receives the keys of Metz, Toul, and Verdun in 1552. The engraved artwork by Jean Baptiste Morret beautifully depicts this triumphant scene during the war against Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. In this colored lithograph created by Jacques Francois Joseph Swebach in 1790, we witness Henri II surrounded by his cavalry and army. The presentation takes place before a group of clergymen and monks who represent the three bishoprics of Lorraine that were annexed during this conflict. The image showcases not only the military might of France but also highlights the political power held by its monarchs during this period. It serves as a reminder of Henry's successful campaign against Charles V and his determination to expand French territories. The attention to detail in Swebach's engraving is remarkable - every soldier is meticulously depicted with their weapons at hand, conveying strength and unity among France's armed forces. This print offers us a glimpse into the atmosphere of 16th-century France, capturing both historical significance and artistic excellence. Preserved within a private collection today, this piece from The Stapleton Collection allows us to appreciate an important moment in French history while admiring the skillful craftsmanship behind its creation.
